I want to write a scripting language something like Hypertalk
for a program I am writing.  I have never written a language
before, so I am not quite sure where to begin.  Can anyone give
me some broad words of wisdom on what the general approach to
writing an interpreter is?  I know this is a very open-ended
question, but I would appreciate any guidance you could give
me (even if the concepts seem glaringly simple to you, because
as I said, I've never done this before).
